Corner Gas Animated is a Canadian adult animated sitcom, created by Brent Butt. The series is a revival of the live-action sitcom Corner Gas , which was originally broadcast from 2004 to 2009. [1] The show premiered on April 2, 2018, on The Comedy Network, and was carried over when the channel became CTV Comedy Channel one year later.

Contents

The fourth and final season premiered on July 5, 2021. [2]

Premise

The series follows the everyday lives of the residents of the fictional small town of Dog River, Saskatchewan. Though similar to the live-action series, the creators acknowledged that the animated format gave them opportunities to do stranger and more unrealistic things that the original series could not depict. [1] For instance, cutaway gags in the animated version include a Mad Max spoof and a gory fight between a Sasquatch and a unicorn. [3]

Cast

All the original Corner Gas actors reprised their roles, with the exception of Janet Wright, who died in 2016. [4] Actress Corrine Koslo was selected to voice Emma Leroy in Wright's place. [4]
